The team is expected to announce a new manager early next year, as well as who will partner Poland's Robert Kubica for the 2010 season.

After a torrid 2009 season which saw the exit of Honda, Toyota and BMW, the sport of Formula 1 received a much-needed boost with Renault confirming they will continue racing in 2010.

Making the announcement at a press conference in Paris, Renault F1 team president Bernard Rey explained the Renault team's future.
